Marathi stars extend helping hand to flood affected people from Maharashtra
While the Bollywood stars for whom Maharashtra is ‘Karmabhoomi’ have turned a blind eye towards the flood affected people of the state, the Marathi stars have come forward to take the lead and offer support to the affected people. Artistes like Subodh Bhave, Sai Tamhankar and many others have already started the campaign to raise funds and other help to the flood affected people mainly from Kolhapur, Sangli and surrounding areas.
While the Pani foundation of Nana Patekar and Makarand Anaspure have already started sending all the help to the flood affected victims, actor Pushkar Shrotri has also appealed to Ganesh Mandals in Maharashtra not to spend lavishly during the festival . Instead they should pass on the help to the families of flood affected areas. Looking at their sincere effort to take the lead for this social cause, many well wishers of the stars have already responded positively .
TV actor Sagar Talashikar has also appealed to social workers in villages spread around Kolhapur and Sangli for the cleanliness drive post floods. And to meet their expenses in travelling from one village to other, he has appealed to donors. Looking at the initiative taken by Marathi stars, it is expected that the bollywood stars should also come forward to show their solidarity to help the flood victims.

Writer& screenplay writer Upendra Sidhye who shot into fame after receiving Filmfare & Cine Blitz awards for best screenplay for the film ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ has now turned writer and director into Marathi with his latest release ‘Girlfriend’. So, being a writer himself, he has systematically developed the screenplay of this film on the backdrop of his own Pune city and using the social media very well, to target the young audience.
Through ‘Girlfriend’ Upendra presents the story of a simple and nice young man Nachiket Pradhan( Amey Wagh) a boy next door, who resembles the looks of Amol Palekar of 70s. Being simple, he has kept himself away from girlfriends. But, that comes in the way of his promotion in office and also spending time with his childhood friends, who are already in relationship. Being a graphic designer himself and active on social media, he prepares a fraudulent fb account by lifting a photo of Payal Mehta( Sai Tamhankar) and naming her as Alisha Narvekar to pose his girlfriend. What happens thereafter is a humour filled screenplay, which entertains especially the young audience.
The office and home atmosphere of Nachiket has been nicely created. Initially moving at a slow pace, the film does pick up little before the interval showing many interesting happenings in Nachiket’s life. His birthday coinciding with Valentines’ day has also been presented well to show his helplessness to find a girlfriend. The entry of Sai Tamhankar has been used well in the screenplay just before the interval. However, showing her in the narrative through a song sequence little before that has spoiled the show.
What keeps the audience engaged post interval is its Spanish connection through the character of Sai Tamhankar . Both Amey and Sai have offered variety through their respective performances, but without the support of other artistes in this film , they would not have been able to offer their best. Thanks to Yatin karyekar, Kavita Lad who play his supportive modern day parents and many other artistes who have played his close friends and office colleagues in the film. Prominent among them is popular TV star Rasika Sunil, who has impressed the most. Unfortunately, this talented actress hasn’t been used much to tap her potential. She is certainly worth considering for lead roles in Marathi films.
Other positive aspects of this film are, the music and background music by Hrishkesh , Saurabh & Jasraj , who have combined well to offer musical entertainment and nice photography of Milind Jog. All in all, ‘Girlfriend’ is an entertaining film which may draw more young audience to cinema halls.
Sai Tamhankar fan club make hundred under privileged children happy
We are all aware that Marathi actress Sai Tamhankar always finds time for her social commitments. Similarly her fan club ‘Saiholiks’ which comprises of many well wishers, carry forward her message to the society by involving themselves in some social commitment. Recently, on the occasion of Sai’s birthday, this fan club distributed school kit to hundred under privileged children and saw happiness on their faces.
Speaking about their work, her fans said that every year they celebrate their favourite star Sai’s birthday by taking up some kind of social work. During the last three years they have planted trees in different parts of state to celebrate her birthday. Reacting to this fine gesture from her fan club, Sai said, “ I consider myself fortunate that I have such a wonderful group of people as my well wishers, who think of different ideas to celebrate my birthday in a unique way.”

Sai appeals for Voluntary contribution of labour on World Earth Day
We are already aware of the contribution of actress Sai Tamhankar for social cause. She has been very active with ‘Pani Foundation’ to create awareness about water conservation by finding time for the same. Recently, Sai posted a video on social media to make an appeal to them to come forward for voluntary contribution of labour on the occasion of World Earth day. Sai herself will be involved with this activity on 1st May 2019.
It may be recalled that for the past five years Sai has been actively involved with Pani Foundation programmes. Besides voluntarily contributing labour on this day every year, she has also been attending their other awareness programmes regularly. Speaking about her involvement in this activity, Sai says, “It is really sad to find the animals struggling to search water and at the same time it is more disturbing to find the women walking long distance to fetch water for their little children in drought affected areas. From my side I will be doing a bit through voluntary contribution of labour and I expect you all to join this movement.”

Song Lyrics
का जीव तोळा तोळा तुझ्यासाठी झुरतो
Ka Jiv Tola Tola Tujhyasathi Zurato
उगाच मागे मागे तुझ्या भिरभिरतो
Ugach Mage Mage Tujhya Bhirbhirto
का जीव तोळा तोळा तुझ्यासाठी झुरतो
Ka Jiv Tola Tola Tujhyasathi Zurato
उगाच मागे मागे तुझ्या भिरभिरतो
Ugach Mage Mage Tujhya Bhirbhirto
हरवुनी तुझ्यात मी पुन्हा पुन्हा का नाव तुझे गुणगुणतो
Haravuni Tujhyat Mi Punha Punha Ka Nav Tujhe Gungunato
का जीव तोळा तोळा तुझ्यासाठी झुरतो
Ka Jiv Tola Tola Tujhyasathi Zurato
उगाच मागे मागे तुझ्या भिरभिरतो
Ugach Mage Mage Tujhya Bhirbhirto
तुझ्या नशील्या नजरेत मीहि गुरफटते
Tujhya Nashilya Najaret Mihi Gurphatate
शहारते ते रे मन वेडे तुझ्यातच विरते
Shaharate Re Man Vede Tujhyatacha Virate
हसता तू जरा खोल काळजात हुळहुळे
Hasata Tu Jara Khol Kalajat Hulhule
बोलणे सांगणे सारे ओठांवर अडखळे
Bolane Sangane Sare Oathanvar Adakhale
हरवुनी तुझ्यात मी पुन्हा पुन्हा का नाव तुझे गुणगुणतो
Haravuni Tujhyat Mi Punha Punha Ka Nav Tujhe Gungunato
का जीव तोळा तोळा तुझ्यासाठी झुरतो
Ka Jiv Tola Tola Tujhyasathi Zurato
उगाच मागे मागे तुझ्या भिरभिरतो
Ugach Mage Mage Tujhya Bhirbhirto .. २
तुझीच होते जगणे हि माझे मी विसरते
Tujhich Hote Jagane Hi Majhe Mi Visarate
करु नयेते सारे काही तुझ्या साठी करते
Karu Nayete Sare Kahi Tujhya Sathi Karate
ऐक ना एकदा तुझे नाव माझ्या श्वासातले
Aikana Ekada Tujhe Nav Majhya Shwasatale
नेमके सांगना काय नाते तुझ्या माझ्यातले
Nemake Sangana Kay Nate Tujhya Majhyatale
हरवुनी तुझ्यात मी पुन्हा पुन्हा का नाव तुझे गुणगुणतो
Haravuni Tujhyat Mi Punha Punha Ka Nav Tujhe Gungunato
का जीव तोळा तोळा तुझ्यासाठी झुरतो
Ka Jiv Tola Tola Tujhyasathi Zurato
उगाच मागे मागे तुझ्या भिरभिरतो
Ugach Mage Mage Tujhya Bhirbhirto .. २
First poster of Sai Tamhankar’s film ‘Pondicherry’ released
Sai Tamhankar has begun shooting of her forthcoming film ‘Pondicherry‘ at Pondicherry from 1st February 2019. On the first day itself the first poster of this film was released in which we find black and white look of Sai Tamhankar, which is without make up. And therefore, there is a lot of curiosity among Sai’s fans, as this film will be shot with I Phone and in this film Sai will be working without make up.
Speaking about this film, Sai Tamhankar says, “This is the first film which is being shot on I Phone and my look is very natural in this film, as there is no make up and no hairstyle. The entire film is being shot in Pondicherry and I am enjoying every moment during this process, which is like attending a workshop. I feel that every actress should experience working in such a film, where she gets a chance to come out of her comfort zone and attempt something different.”
By the way, after ‘Vazandar‘ this is the second film Sai Tamhankar is doing with film maker Sachin Kundalkar.
